  Any suggestions? It's from the rear of a Porsche 997 air con unit.

Looks like a BZP socket head flange button screw. About 4 or 5 mm I guess...sorry, can't tell the length

Button-head allen screw with integral washer. Also seen them called trim screws, but that's a bit vague. All IMO, of course.

Looks like a rounded off 25 torx that someone has attacked with a allen key.

Swear at anything in the vicinity. Try a bigger allen key that won't fit in. Then end up getting a T30 and hammering it into the already mangled fitting. It will go in but requires a hard hit (which could be a problem on this plastic fitting). Once stuck in place you can remove the screw and recover the torx bit via the use of a vice and previously mentioned hammer.

on this one I think I'd slot the head with a dremel cutting disc and use a flat-head screwdriver.
